When the number of sunspots drops at the end of each 11year cycle, solar storms die down and all become much calmer. This “solar minimum” doesn't last long. Within a
year, sunspots and solar storms begin to build toward a new crescendo,_the next solar maximum.
What's special about this latest cycle is that the sun is having trouble starting the next solar cycle. The sun began to calm down in late 2007, so no one expected many sunspots in 2008. They should return in 2010. Scientists have predicted that the next solar cycle could be the most active on record: more sunspots and more solar storms.
However, sunspots are mostly missing now.
Since the earth is in close contact with the sun, strong solar activities can bring trouble to our life.
People of the 21st century rely on hightech systems for the basics of daily life. Air travel and radio communications can be affected by strong solar activities.
A big solar storm could cause 20 times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina.
What the sun will do next is beyond our ability to predict. Most astronomers think that the solar cycle will go on but at low level. However, there is also evidence that the sun is losing its ability to produce sunspots. By 2015, they could be gone altogether.
